His character's rhetoric was off the charts for a fantasy to introduce something foreign and novel. That was some top tier writing. Then later, when Arya reaches the house of Black and White, you learn why they speak this way. They no longer have an identity, so he has no name, he is just "a man" and he treats Arya as "a girl." Also by using names, he can't be picked for assassination if he is "a man."
The first death was the tickler because she didn't know what Jaqen was capable of, so she just said the name of a person she hated The second name was that lannister general dude, because if he didn't die, her cover would have been blown (regardless of whether Tywin was alive or not) The third time she wanted to kill Tywin, but Jaqen wasn't there. Later I guess she wanted to get out of harrenhal more than directly kill anyone

That's the way they speak in Lorath. It's polite to speak in 3rd person but it's not forbidden to use 1st person speech. It's just more offensive or intimate.
edoardo garosi And yet taking his life may have stopped the war. That is something for which a life, even a little girl's life, is worth risking, don't you agree?
The Drunk Knight It wouldn't have ended anything. In fact, killing Tywin would have caused more problems. Also Jaqen does not give set times to when he does anything. Considering Tywin and his family are constantly surrounded by guards are fortified rooms, methinks it would have took more planning then killing a few guards nobody liked anyway.
I never said it wouldn't stop the war. But now that I think about it, it REALLY wouldn't. If Tywin or his children were touched; then Harrenhal would explode, with people looking for the killer, who do you think, they will look for. Anyone who isn't a local to the Castle. Including everyone bought there. Arya would be imprisoned or killed, and Robb and his mother would go berserk. Making a worse war.
His reappearance in the show was ok and good. Not bad. But his plotline in books is more interesting, after he change his face infront of arya. Apparently he went to old town to kill an novice named pete of the citidal and took his place. Pete has an unimportant position he was nothing more than a servant, but he is nurse/servant to old and senile archmaester walgrave, who speciallity is ravens, author of the book "dark wings, dark words" every arch maester carry some kind of master key which open the all doors in citidal or atleast the rooms which are restricted and contain dangerous knowledge in the eyes of maesters. Original deal was pete would provide him the key in exchange of gold coin. But when pete try to bite the gold cpin as he saw thats how merchants check its authenticity, he died as the coin was laced with poison. Of course it didnt said that the character of al chemist who gave pete coin was jaquen but the description of his features mathes the face that jaquen changed into before he departed from arya. And of course the way he killed pete speaks of methods of faceless men. And here is the final twist, despite being dead pete was found to be still alive somehow and veing part of maester mervyn who studies magic, and sam encountered him when he reache the citidal! Really excited for this story line.
i really don't think jaqen was obliged to offer 3 deaths, but he rather wanted to recruit her and exercised a good show how facelessmen are able to kill any men with a name he knew how arya had a deathlist of her own and struck her weak spot . at the last scene with jaqen, he was so eager to offer companionship for arya to become a facelessmen. i don't think faceless men recruit cadets that easily. i think his whole mission was to influence arya to join their ranks.
Notice how he never mentions or alludes to the fact that she'll have to loose her identity to join. And the fact that he frames his abilities (to a young impressionable child) as "able to grant wishes"

Why would you think that? Because he had to sacrifice three people to the Red God due to the fact that Arya saved them? It's not paying her back, it's making something right.
@@eduardoprado0402 Let's see. I owned and ran a factory with 20 employees near Seattle, and now I'm a portrait photographer on a tiny island in the Caribbean.
There is a theory that the Faceless men were hired by Cersei or Tywin to kill Ned Stark if he was sent to the wall because he could have been a threat to Joffrey's rule but I heard that a long time ago so I don't remember the details
Arya is my favourite character now. In the sense that every time I see her I learn more about the faceless men(assassins), at the black and white house. The scene when she seen herself dead was very cool.
***** no but since the guy who supposedly killed syrio was alive untill recently when arya killed him. it makes sense, its kinda retarded to think jaqen is a famous swordsman when he is infact practicing being no one.
Look, a walking, talking, sexy Death Note. ^^ Jaqen really comes close to being a one-scene-wonder. Maybe four-scene-wonder in this case. Comparatively minor role, but leaving a huge impact and stealing the show!
"Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three"
+TheSm1thers cersei has no power without powerful men to manipulate. waste of a kill. she'll die as easily as anyone beneath your sword when you take king's landing.
TheSm1thers not to mention if she had named Tywin...NO RED WEDDING!!!!!! Her mom and brother alive and well. Stannis would have Kings Landing. Joffrey and Cersi would be dead and all would be well. Damn you Arya!!!!!!!!
I've always wondered how Jaqen H'ghar got there. How did a Faceless Assassin get thrown into Kings Landing dungeons? Why didn't he escape since it's obvious he could at his leisure? Why did he choose to head to the Wall? What was he doing?
+FerretJohn I imagine this is a difficult question.. He might have been seeking an opportunity to offer many Free Folk and men of the Night's Watch to his god of Death, perhaps..
There's a really plausible theory out there I read years back that had him on a mission to obtain the key for opening something secured (a book? a candle? I forget now) at the Citadel. He obtained the key, but we don't find out what he used it for after that. He was simply biding his time while planning his journey. I'm unsure why he helped Arya. My theory is he knew an ancestor of hers a long time ago, so he bestows his gift upon his old friend's descendent.
+dibaterman her reasoning in the books at the time is pretty much that she is impatient, she want's immediate revenge on those around her like chiswyk, weese, the tickler, the mountain, ser amory etc joffrey and cersei are hundreds of miles away and she knows it would take a long time for jaqen to get to these people. Remember in the show it makes it look like she is in harrenhal for a short amount of time, whereas in the book she has been a prisoner there for some time and eventually is chosen to be a serving girl,they make her scrub the grime off the floors until her hands bleed, so you can understand that has given her time for her hatred of her captures to mature.
later on they talk about how he can indeed kill anyone but he doesn't know how much time does it take. he also says that "the man can't do that" when arya wants tywin to be killed immediately. so it's also just common sense. maybe he kills cersei or joffrey but if it takes years the war might just end by that time.
Makes sense that a faceless man, a person who changes his face, would find a girl who pretends to be someone else to be intriguing. Arya ticks a lot of boxes for potentially becoming a faceless man at this stage and this is probably some recruitment routine he does.
I would have given Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei and Roose Bolton. But when you think about it, he says it can take months for these lives to be taken. Maybe more. The names Arya gave to Jaqen were easy lives to take: closely located, almost unprotected. But maybe with those 3 names, the surviving chances would have been very low. He could have died on his first attempt for only the first name, one name, and after months to get to him.
I guess this was the only chance that Arya had to save Robb from his death. Come on girl, just say Tywin lannister and he might be dead before he planned to kill Robb Stark in the Red Wedding.
Sun Moon The books have her realise this mistake, later on - Arya is a young girl who wasn't thinking clearly, she was mostly wanting those she more directly hated to die... And in the books Tywin was never on her list, being they never interacted unlike here - in the books, she serves Roose Bolton instead, after using Jaqen's name to overthrow Lannister control some time after her and Gregor Clegane and such have left; it's also under those circumstances that Amory Lorch died, unlike here where his role as the second name she uses is combined with a minor character, a cruel steward (I believe that was his job) of Harrenhal named Weese. The Tickler also didn't get named; a separate minor character was her first name, and the Tickler died in late Book 3 at her direct hands in the scene where in the show, she killed Polliver (Polliver himself was killed by the Hound in the same scene; furthering that, ANOTHER separate character was the one who killed Lommy Greenhands in the books, Polliver was just the guy who took Arya's sword but the roles were merged - thankfully, a leaked chapter of Book 6 shows Arya killing the man who murdered Lommy in Braavos, when she finds him there (a death in Season 5 is actually based on that one). Yeah... the books are complicated like that. You'd have to read them a dozen times or something to notice all the names and details and such...
Later he couldn't - because the Ty has left. But she knew beforehand who he was and that he was planning to fight her brother. She even pondered stabbing him. She just hesitated - maybe because he treated her humanely. With all my affection to the Starks - this is a continuous flaw by them: letting feelings override duty.
The first death (Tickler) was Arya testing Jaquen. She didn't fully trust him so she just named a random person (that she hates). The second (Ser Amory Lorch) was necessary. She wanted Tywin to be the third but he'd gone before she reached Jaquen.
The title of the video reminds me of the holy hand grenade scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
+dragom2009 nope, there is some controversy about where jaqens loyalties actually lie, you should watch a video series by preston jacobs on youtube titled "the faceless" he explains alot about jaqen :D
dragom2009 exactly my point, jaqen is a faceless man and they worship the many face god at the house of black and white in bravos, and yet he mentions to arya about serving the red god :S it's very confusing.
dragom2009 yes, the red god refers to the god worshipped by melisandre aka the lord of light. yet jaqen should be a follower of the many face god. that video series by Preston Jacobs explains it better than i can :D
If she had just said Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon the Starks would have won the war, Robb would probably have still been alive, and we probably wouldn't have had to wait so long to be disappointed by season 8
I believe she didn't say those because Cersei and jeffory because they were her,s to kill. She wanted to see the look on thire eyes before she kills them . I didn't want her to name those 2 to.What a shame she didn't get a chance to kill them. She has wanted them dead for like 7 years
My theory is that Jaqen is actually the god of death/red god; I watched the whole series trying to disprove this gut feeling and only found more to support it 😅 I like to think the actual Game of Thrones was played by the gods, old and new, who actually walked and talked among the people as characters we never picked up on (except Jaqen).
+Sigurd Torvaldsson I think Joffrey and Tommen were actually hindering the Lannisters more than helping them. Tywin, Loras Tyrell and Tyrion would be better choices

+TheSm1thers
cersei has no power without powerful men to manipulate. waste of a kill. she'll die as easily as anyone beneath your sword when you take king's landing.
+waldoman7 thats the exact sort of thinking that got ned stark killed....
TheSm1thers not to mention if she had named Tywin...NO RED WEDDING!!!!!! Her mom and brother alive and well. Stannis would have Kings Landing. Joffrey and Cersi would be dead and all would be well.
Damn you Arya!!!!!!!!
says Joffrey to Jaqen: "a man would kill that brat for free"
Three names imagine how she could have stopped a war and win the war if the names were selected more carefully.
In the books she actually mentally kicks herself later over exactly that.
I name Klaus Schwab, and Larry Fink, just need these 2 to achieve world peace.
Jaqen H’ghar is Enzo the Russian from Stranger Things 4
Hopper’s mate
I've always wondered how Jaqen H'ghar got there. How did a Faceless Assassin get thrown into Kings Landing dungeons? Why didn't he escape since it's obvious he could at his leisure? Why did he choose to head to the Wall? What was he doing?
Preston Jacobs. Look up that youtube channel. He's got some incredible theories. Ill say this much. Why would a faceless man need to go to the wall?
ive heard that he did to meet arya like it was meant to happen but i dont know if itd true
+FerretJohn
I imagine this is a difficult question.. He might have been seeking an opportunity to offer many Free Folk and men of the Night's Watch to his god of Death, perhaps..
There's a really plausible theory out there I read years back that had him on a mission to obtain the key for opening something secured (a book? a candle? I forget now) at the Citadel. He obtained the key, but we don't find out what he used it for after that. He was simply biding his time while planning his journey.
I'm unsure why he helped Arya. My theory is he knew an ancestor of hers a long time ago, so he bestows his gift upon his old friend's descendent.
I fucking LOVE jaquen that actor is so good too i wish he would come back in season 3 hes so wise and awesome
They pointed out later that Arya could have named someone important and maybe have ended the war later on. I forget her reasoning for not doing that.
+dibaterman her reasoning in the books at the time is pretty much that she is impatient, she want's immediate revenge on those around her like chiswyk, weese, the tickler, the mountain, ser amory etc joffrey and cersei are hundreds of miles away and she knows it would take a long time for jaqen to get to these people. Remember in the show it makes it look like she is in harrenhal for a short amount of time, whereas in the book she has been a prisoner there for some time and eventually is chosen to be a serving girl,they make her scrub the grime off the floors until her hands bleed, so you can understand that has given her time for her hatred of her captures to mature.
MrPurplephrog Thanks didn't know that.
later on they talk about how he can indeed kill anyone but he doesn't know how much time does it take. he also says that "the man can't do that" when arya wants tywin to be killed immediately.
so it's also just common sense. maybe he kills cersei or joffrey but if it takes years the war might just end by that time.
He is not a blood thirsty murderer but cool and collected killer
- The Red God takes what is his lovely girl....
*shivers *
If only that prisoner cart was about ten times larger.
Makes sense that a faceless man, a person who changes his face, would find a girl who pretends to be someone else to be intriguing. Arya ticks a lot of boxes for potentially becoming a faceless man at this stage and this is probably some recruitment routine he does.
I would have given Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei and Roose Bolton. But when you think about it, he says it can take months for these lives to be taken. Maybe more. The names Arya gave to Jaqen were easy lives to take: closely located, almost unprotected. But maybe with those 3 names, the surviving chances would have been very low. He could have died on his first attempt for only the first name, one name, and after months to get to him.
You could but you shouldn’t
He no mare mortal man. Later on the series he says to Arya, "You lied to me, the many face god." He could very well be deity in disguise
Why would she name Roose Bolton. I don't even think she knew him yet (in the show)
I hope they bring him back.
Efren Gamez Your wish has been granted.
Farewell
Damn, I love the way he works.
Man Jaqen was one of the most badass characters in the show
I guess this was the only chance that Arya had to save Robb from his death. Come on girl, just say Tywin lannister and he might be dead before he planned to kill Robb Stark in the Red Wedding.
Sun Moon The books have her realise this mistake, later on - Arya is a young girl who wasn't thinking clearly, she was mostly wanting those she more directly hated to die... And in the books Tywin was never on her list, being they never interacted unlike here - in the books, she serves Roose Bolton instead, after using Jaqen's name to overthrow Lannister control some time after her and Gregor Clegane and such have left; it's also under those circumstances that Amory Lorch died, unlike here where his role as the second name she uses is combined with a minor character, a cruel steward (I believe that was his job) of Harrenhal named Weese.
The Tickler also didn't get named; a separate minor character was her first name, and the Tickler died in late Book 3 at her direct hands in the scene where in the show, she killed Polliver (Polliver himself was killed by the Hound in the same scene; furthering that, ANOTHER separate character was the one who killed Lommy Greenhands in the books, Polliver was just the guy who took Arya's sword but the roles were merged - thankfully, a leaked chapter of Book 6 shows Arya killing the man who murdered Lommy in Braavos, when she finds him there (a death in Season 5 is actually based on that one).
Yeah... the books are complicated like that. You'd have to read them a dozen times or something to notice all the names and details and such...
Jaqen music theme is sick af
Later he couldn't - because the Ty has left.
But she knew beforehand who he was and that he was planning to fight her brother. She even pondered stabbing him.
She just hesitated - maybe because he treated her humanely.
With all my affection to the Starks - this is a continuous flaw by them: letting feelings override duty.
Jaqen H'ghar is an epic character
a man is powerful that he can take the throne by himself.
Dude’s basically Agent 47 in Westeros
Geez the old seasons were good
They picked the perfect actor for the role.
*AHEM!* Three lives I'll give you, no more, no FEWER. Fewer!
The first death (Tickler) was Arya testing Jaquen. She didn't fully trust him so she just named a random person (that she hates). The second (Ser Amory Lorch) was necessary. She wanted Tywin to be the third but he'd gone before she reached Jaquen.
Apparently the tickler was Gordon Ramsay. 2:46
Imagine being that young and knowing you have a master assassin at your disposal
At this point she wasn't sure she thought he was just joking.
The title of the video reminds me of the holy hand grenade scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
"Give us a name" - "The sound mixing" - "Well that is enough ..."
They let such a great character go to waste..
Legend has it that jaqen is still the only man who scares john wick ....
"John Wick is the man you send to kill the f****** boogeyman!"
But then they realize they both like dogs.
isn´t the red god the god melisandra wordships? is that god the same as the many faces god''?
+dragom2009 nope, there is some controversy about where jaqens loyalties actually lie, you should watch a video series by preston jacobs on youtube titled "the faceless" he explains alot about jaqen :D
MrPurplephrog but he says the red god, and the red priest is always about the red god
dragom2009 exactly my point, jaqen is a faceless man and they worship the many face god at the house of black and white in bravos, and yet he mentions to arya about serving the red god :S it's very confusing.
MrPurplephrog so my question. those two are different gods?
dragom2009 yes, the red god refers to the god worshipped by melisandre aka the lord of light. yet jaqen should be a follower of the many face god. that video series by Preston Jacobs explains it better than i can :D
A Lannister soldier occasionally pays his debts
‘’Three life I will give you no more no less’’
“”Joffrey Baratheon””
‘’Error 404”
Jeffory was her,s to kill .She would have loved to see the look on his face when she kills him
If she had just said Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon the Starks would have won the war, Robb would probably have still been alive, and we probably wouldn't have had to wait so long to be disappointed by season 8
I believe she didn't say those because Cersei and jeffory because they were her,s to kill. She wanted to see the look on thire eyes before she kills them . I didn't want her to name those 2 to.What a shame she didn't get a chance to kill them. She has wanted them dead for like 7 years
Cersei, Joffrey, Tywin and it would have been a much shorter book series.
I'm glad she used her gift to kill very important characters.
"Cersei, Jofferey and littlefinger, these are my names..." had this been her dialogue we probably wouldn't have had 5o witness whatever s8 was...
So... Like the Darkbrotherhood and The Nights Mother
Death is certain, time is not, so the war may end when Jaqen gets near these people.
i always say he was my fav character on GoT and people are always confused. Any Rogue Main understands though.
Because "This would require more than one life" to achieve.
This was so amazing... Arya was so amazing in 1st 5 seasons...
Then everything went downhill
A man is now fighting monsters from the upsidedown world
My theory is that Jaqen is actually the god of death/red god; I watched the whole series trying to disprove this gut feeling and only found more to support it 😅 I like to think the actual Game of Thrones was played by the gods, old and new, who actually walked and talked among the people as characters we never picked up on (except Jaqen).
Best character on this show!
She should have just instantly named Joffery, Cersei, and Tywin.
"Three lives I'll give you, no more, no less"
“Cersei Lannister, Nightking, Danerys Targaryen”
I love this guy
My favorite character so far :)
Joffrey Lannister, Her Mother and Her Grandfather.
Roll Credits.
- Tywin Lannister

after Stannis kills Renly
=> Stannis get the thrones
Sigurd Torvaldsson Father of the year material.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson Stannis already pledged to crush Robb's rebellion. If Arya sided with Stannis she'd be betraying her own brother.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson I think Joffrey and Tommen were actually hindering the Lannisters more than helping them. Tywin, Loras Tyrell and Tyrion would be better choices
+Adonnus100 y loras
+George Nottas Cause he's responsible for changing the 50k Tyrell army to the Lannister side since he had a boner for Renly
"No more, no less... Lol, jk. I'll give you more if you ask nicely, slash, threaten me with my life."
"Three life I'll give you, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out".
should of developed a series .......great depth
